Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Original Blaupunkt radio. Not a pretty sight. Casual repaint, steering wheel worn and hub cover missing, poor trim chrome, chassis tags painted over. Minimal body filler; in fact, the paint is so thick there may not be any Bondo at all. Clean, but oily, engine with Solexes. Engine and chassis numbers fall into the correct ranges, but for a 60 model. A sound Porsche, but in need of attention.

Market commentary

The bid is a gift for this car, which needs comprehensive attention and no small amount of paint and interior work to win the adjective presentable. $8 9,000 would have been a reasonable selling price. This is an example of a car that should have been accepted by RM only at No Reserve; with this estimate its time on the block was wasted.
